Good morning Griff, Probably one reason you had no luck
with Jewel of Omar is that you started with the more difficult ones to work
with in arilbreds.

The story of my life,
Francesca! As you can tell from the pedigrees of many of my
registrations and introductions, I began by concentrating on recessive
amoenas. I soon learned what I was letting myself in for
there, but I was unaware that OBs were in a similar category of
difficulty. I thank you for the very encouraging information, but, given
the reality of space limitations, I'll probably not be branching out at
this point. -- Griff
